Sustainable Foods
Another term
you might hear in conjunction with organic and natural foods is
"sustainable." This term means that foods have been grown locally by
sustainable agricultural methods — that is, using food-growing techniques that
don't harm the environment, are seasonal, and preserve agricultural land.
Sustainable practices also are humane to animals, pay growers fairly, and
support local farming communities by distributing their food through farmer's
markets and other venues.
Again,
"sustainable" and "organic" don't always mean the same
thing. An organic tomato you buy, for example, might not adhere to sustainable
principles if it was grown organically but shipped across the country to your
market. And some produce you find at your local stand might not have been grown
organically.
There's a
growing trend among health-conscious consumers to buy food that is both
sustainable and organic whenever possible.
